Title: Searching for theories beyond general relativity through various observational avenues
Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss about various observational avenues that have been available recently and can be used to test the structure of gravitational theories at large curvature regime. This will include gravitational wave observations, black hole echos, as well as measurement of the black hole shadow from the supermassive black hole M87*. Implications will also be discussed.
